Exceedingly scarce pin from the 1896-97 Whitehead & Hoag set, commonly known as "Cameo Pepsin" due to the advertisement sometimes present on the reverse of the pins (though the pins are often found with or without Cameo Pepsin advertising). The first large set of pins to feature baseball players, more than 140 subjects are known and more are added to the checklist as they are discovered. Typically subject to image fading and other condition flaws due to age, the pins are quite condition sensitive today. 

Higher-grade example features Albert Kennedy, pictured with the Cedar Rapids Rabbits of the Western Association. Graded EX 5 by PSA, the image does exhibit some fading but conversely, the eye appeal is exceptional, with no oxidation, a clean, white backing paper, and no wear at the curl. High-grade examples from this issue are difficult to find, and this one is very strong.
